Matthew Study Notes—Chapter 8

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 8:24
  
  great storm: Such storms are common on the Sea of Galilee. Its surface is about 210 m (700 ft) below sea level, and the air temperature is warmer on the sea than in the surrounding plateaus and mountains. Those conditions result in atmospheric disturbances and strong winds that can quickly whip up waves.
